Missionary preaching was one of the main purposes for which the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle was founded in 1858. The first Paulist Fathers believed deeply in the value of traveling to cities, towns and rural areas throughout the United States and Canada to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and his Church.

Today, some two dozen members of our community are available to conduct a variety of parish missions, retreats and workshops. Please see below for their biographies and contact details. If you already know which Paulist Father you would like to have visit your parish or organization, do not hesitate to contact him directly.

To discuss which Paulist Father would be most appropriate for your parish or organization, or for general questions, please contact Paul Snatchko in our Marketing and Communications Office at (202) 269-2502 or media@paulist.org
